Many players are surprised by the game's unexpectedly deep and emotional story. [1][2][3] Some find the humor wears thin quickly and the gameplay lacks depth. [4][5] The game is widely seen as best enjoyed with friends for absurd, laugh-filled sessions. [6][7][8]

It's like Stanley Parable if Stanley Parable had penises, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ controls, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ writing. The story mode only takes about a couple hours to complete, but the charm of the constant barrage of ♥♥♥♥ puns and gross-out humor wears off very quick. It's not replaced by anything else, either, with the vapid story droning on and on as the game vastly overstays its welcome, becoming an effort in endurance more than …

At first glance I thought this game would just be a bunch of sex jokes with no depth, gravity, content to it, but overtime as I played through the game I realized there's a lot more to it than what I was seeing. By the end of the game I realized there was one important lesson in life, "When life gets hard, get harder" and I strive to live by this moto everyday and night until I die because that's what John would …

Best $1.74 I ever spent, in tears laughing! This game has no business being so well done. Genuinely a finely polished masterpiece with a beautiful story and super addickting gameplay. 11/10

Genital Jousting is exactly as stupid as the title suggests, and honestly, that is the point. This is not a game you play because you are looking for deep mechanics, emotional storytelling, or a life-changing artistic experience. This is a game you play because someone said the title out loud and everyone in the room immediately made the same terrible decision. It is ridiculous, awkward, chaotic, and deeply …

I bought this game because it was funny but I didn't expect a 10/10 story. Sometimes its better to be soft than hard.

Players who liked Genital Jousting talk about surprisingly good story with meaningful themes; those who didn't talk about humor wears off quickly. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Genital Jousting received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. The multiplayer was regarded as the core of the game and fun until the joke starts to wear thin. The story mode was deemed surprisingly emotional but too short. CGMagazine described the story's handling of the aftermath of a sexual assault as "problematic". Hardcore Gamer said the gameplay in story mode is so different to multiplayer that "there's a rather huge disconnect between both halves of the game and it just leaves things feeling awkward."

positive · AI labelView post →Jackbox games of course. There’s also [Genital Jousting](https://store.steampowered.com/app/469820/Genital_Jousting/).
neutral · AI labelView post →My friend got this for me during a deal, 2 copies for 5 bucks. I think he just wanted an excuse to touch my penis. all he had to do was ask
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The wife and I has returned to Valheim on a selfhosted dedicated server during the holidays, not sure if an adventuring party is the party you were thinking about. I've been /dancing on the ship as she steers it over the ocean though. Most of the "party" games I have require no self hosting, it's just split/shared screen co-op on the TV, Gang Beasts is a favourite and depending on what friends are over Genital Jousting can also be booted up for some laughs.
neutral · AI labelView post →boys I cannot lie, me and the missus played about three hours straight of this. by the end, we were so horned up that she let me hit it raw. now she is pregnant with our fifth child...I'm happy but...I cant play thi game anymore. shes too fertile from it. incredible graphics and plot line however. highly recommend for those of you who are single.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The reason might be a slippery slope or whatever, but there's mountains of disgusting visual novel incest fantasy shit, so much that I had to filter out all sexual content from Steam even though I might enjoy occasional Sex With the Devil or some Genital Jousting.
positive · AI labelView post →Game very fun, sadly cannot play with only one hand, I tried.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my mother walked in and she said to be what game you playing i said that im playing penis game and my mom was very angy she said i should not be looking a penises on my sister computer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally got to achieve my dreams of smacking inanimate objects with my willy. Definitely play this with your parents.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game fufilled all of my desires of flopping around and squirting all over without any consequeses. I alos enjoy eating food through my butt it seem more effcient.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In all seriousness, the story has a great message that comes along with its absurdity. I have seem movies and read books with far worse plots. I would say that this is the most dih-touching story game I've ever played.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Peak gameplay, never cried so hard at a story in my life. When my mother died of cancer i didn't cry as hard. Do recommend playing whenever you have the chance
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's been a while since I've thought about, much less played, Genital Jousting.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love being inside of my friends. It's just like real life
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the best game I've ever played in my life.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just play it you know you wanna if you're looking at the reviews
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This unironically has a good story dealing with themes of toxic masculinity, personal accountability, and self growth. Other than that, there is nothing to do without multiple players, unless you want to use your controller and keyboard at once. The minigames seem decent if you have a friend who wants to play. Get especially if you like looking at long, slimy penises like me.

I'd recommend avoiding this one.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Genital Jousting is due for a sequel. store.steampowered.com/app/469820/G...
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m worried that when i die; my stream backlog will be my unfinished business and my tortured soul won’t be able to move on until i beat every game including Genital Jousting. Just a ghost haunting the halls wailing and gnashing its teeth over Rocket Birds- Hardboiled Chicken.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is one of the greatest games of all time. It is a mastercraft of art and design, it's storytelling superb, it's music majestic, it's characters so well developed you can sympathize with them. And beyond all that, it has ♥♥♥♥♥. "Life can be hard, but that doesn't mean we have to be."

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short (as far as story mode goes), bizarre game about a penis and balls with a butthole trying to find a date for his high school reunion. Possessing those three things myself, and also being of the class of '08, I could really relate to this game. In short, it's stupid (the good kind of stupid), hilarious, and filled with moments of "did I just see that?" It reminds me of that Sausage Party movie, except actually good. Check it out if you love penis, or weird stuff.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Co-op is a blast, but the story mode is just pure genius and extremely funny
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →💦 Genital Jousting — Funny for a Night, Forgettable Tomorrow (Worth $3 or Less) 💦 Genital Jousting is fun… for a very short amount of time. This is absolutely a “you’re drunk, high, or giggly with friends” kind of game. Think Jackbox — not in gameplay, but in the vibe. It's something you boot up with a group, laugh yourselves stupid making penis jokes, and then you’re basically done. The novelty wears thin fast. There isn’t much replay value unless you’ve got a good-sized group of friends…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →aside from the ♥♥♥♥ jokes the game has a surprisingly good story so this is like finding a rare erotic tape where the story is actually more engaging than sex
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →> -Genital Jousting Any video games you could also recommend?
neutral · AI labelView post →Not really a stoner myself but I bet the following would be good: -The Catacombs of Solaris Revisited -A Short Hike -Placid Plastic Duck Simulator -Untitled Goose Game -Manifold Garden -The Looker -Peggle Deluxe -Sable -Genital Jousting -Abzu -The Stanley Parable -Bugsnax
neutral · AI labelView post →it's wild that Genital Jousting (the party game about dicks with butts that try to fuck each other) has a genuinely compelling single player narrative about toxic masculinity the haha funny penis game didn't need to do that, but i'm glad they did
positive · AI labelView post →The story mode was very emotional and compelling, I was invested the whole time. The party mode is SO fun to play with friends, 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →W game i really love playing with my penis
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny game to play with your polycule x33
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm being so deadass this game is peak as hell like genuinely 8/10 it has an amazing story for like no reason I would rather play this game than relisten to Madvillainy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was honestly way better than i expected, i just expected a stupid little game about a penis. And i kind of got that, but its honestly a very well written, funny and kinda heartwarming story. 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →jousted my genitals with the boys 10/10. my gf was there too i guess
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best game about ♥♥♥♥♥ I ever played
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game very very inspiring and emotional i cryed more then the movie a silent voice would make me cry 10/10 do not recommend playing alone this is a family game night game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely rarer now, but four people sitting in the living room with controllers is still as fun. Helldivers, Magicka, Overcooked, Totemori, Gang Beasts and Genital Jousting are all great fun with some being easier to get into than others.
neutral · AI labelView post →best 2$ i ever spent
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Also, I love that we exist in a timeline where one can say, with no sarcasm whatsoever: "DRESSMAKER is a cosy clothing-creation game from the creators of BROFORCE, ANGER FOOT, GENITAL JOUSTING and GORN 1 and 2". 😆
neutral · AI labelView post →You joust with your genitals its very interesting
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game of the year?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overwhelmed by jousting my genitals, telling my mum it's not a phase, my girlfriend blowing up my phone and kissing the homies simultaneously.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of a kind, the childish giggling in the developers offices when coming up with the ideas and concepts for this game man I wish i could've been there, its uhh an experience about life. WHAT DOTH LIFE
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well that was the most uncomfortable 11 minutes of my life.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2hrs storymode and some fun minigames. But surely way more worth it if you have a group of friends to play with that share the same kind of humor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One must imagine John happy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its awesome. The most romantic story ever. My penis cried
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow this is the best fame ive ever played. the story mode is very emotional and I can relate to it! This game helped save my marriage and helped me and my wife come to better terms with each other. 10/10 And i would reccomend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a wonderfully bizarre party game that basically involves crude phallic shaped items in bizarre battles and competitions. Needs a certain cut of friend to be enjoyable. Highly recommend for half an hour of fun, which is more fun than I can usually expect from myself within this overall theme.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Does this mean that Genital Jousting is the least woke game ever?
neutral · AI labelView post →Now let's cross Fortnite with fallout and Genital Jousting I'm sure that's what players want.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun and silly game to play with friends. Couldn't stop laughing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the moral of the game is, if you can't get girls, grow a bigger ♥♥♥♥
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i mean, it's not the greatest game in the world, but you can get some mild entertainment out of it in co-op. if you play this alone, there's probably something very wrong with you?
